Reintrospecting a Data Source Immediately
You can reintrospect a data source immediately at any time.
To reintrospect a data source immediately
1. You can reintrospect immediately in two ways:
Right-click a data source name in the resource tree, and select Re-Introspect Now.
Open the data source in Studio. Use this method if you want to review the data source definition or the scheduled reintrospection settings.
2. At the bottom of the Studio workspace for the open data source, click the Re-Introspection tab.
3. In the Immediate Reintrospection section, click Re-introspect Now.
The Enter Password window opens if the password to access the data source was not saved when the data source was originally added to the server. For further details, see the descriptions for the Save Password and Pass-through Login fields under Adding Relational Data Sources.
4. If necessary, supply the password that is required to access the data source, and click OK.
TDV immediately reintrospects the data source and displays the Introspection Task Status window with the introspection status, summary, and detailed results. See Viewing the Introspection Task Status Report for more information.
